The new report can easily answer questions like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I want an overview of the courses that my people have completed within the last month (and schedule that for delivery in my email)<\/li>\n<li>I want an overview of what courses my people are assigned to and what their status is.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Revamped messaging<\/h2>\n<p><strong>TalentLMS&#8217; messaging system<\/strong> is another feature that has seen big improvements in this release. Among those is the ability to forward emails, to include individuals to replies and, last but not least, a WYSIWYG editor for composing your messages.<\/p>\n<h2>User Infographic<\/h2>\n<p>Everyone seems to love infographic visualizations, so in this release, we&#8217;re introducing a new one built-in to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">TalentLMS<\/a><\/strong>. The &#8220;User Infographic&#8221; gives you the most important information about a user&#8217;s account in an easy-to-read visual form.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5583\" src=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/user-infographic-for-blog.png\" alt=\"User Infographics in TalentLMS new update \" width=\"630\" height=\"1571\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Full Grid Exports<\/h2>\n<p><em>Got grids?<\/em> Now you can export them too, and not just page-by-page, as in previous versions. The <strong>Grid Export functionality<\/strong> has been extended to cover the full grid and not just the current page &#8212; allowing users to export up to 50.000 rows at once.<\/p>\n<h2>More awesomeness<\/h2>\n<p><strong>The above were the headlining features of this release.<\/strong> There are a lot more included, perhaps less prominent, but sure to improve a lot of use cases, and make the lives of TalentLMS administrators, instructors and content creators even easier.<\/p>\n<p><strong>These include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Support for unlimited custom user fields<br \/>\n\u2022 Support for the date-time custom field type<br \/>\n\u2022 Reset gamification stats for Groups or Branches<br \/>\n\u2022 Easy way to switch between course edit and report mode<br \/>\n\u2022 Option to exclude specific users from emails<br \/>\n\u2022 A new action that calls a user-specified URL on course completion<\/p>\n<p>Plus, a number of usability improvements and workflow enhancements on Branches, Unit\u00a0Creation, and more.<\/p>\n<h2>Recap<\/h2>\n<p>A new TalentLMS update has just landed on the Cloud, with major updates to Custom Reporting and Messaging, a new User Infographic visualization, and enhanced Grid exporting.
